Claude Code's temporary 50% usage boost ends in a week.

Anthropic lifted Claude Code's weekly usage cap 50% back in May — on top of already-doubled five-hour limits — but called it temporary, and that window closes 13 July with no word on what happens next. If you've been running long agent loops or multi-agent setups because the extra room was there, it disappears in a week. Use it: push your heaviest real workload through Claude Code now and find out honestly whether you need Max, or whether the extra quota was masking a workflow that should use fewer tokens anyway. Cursor just moved the same ground the other way, restructuring its Teams pricing on 1 July to cut costs for most customers. Either way, the billing under your coding agent is being rewritten this summer — don't assume this month's maths holds into next.
